In a production environment, tools and IDEs are the way to go as they hide the grimy details that slow the journey from initial design through deployment and maintenance. In a learning environment, a build tool makes sense because it facilitates experimentation. My Ant script is meant to serve this purpose: it allows a web service, with all of the dependencies, to be compiled, built, and deployed with a single command:
%antdeploy-Dwar.name=myFirstService
Chapter 1 goes into the setup details, which are minimal.
With respect to IDEs, this second edition is, like the first, neutral. The very grimy details that are an obstacle in
